How to find an EMC Avamar node's serial number

How to find the EMC serial number using the SSH for Avamar nodes when the Avamar system is located at a physically distant location. The methods for obtaining the serial numbers from Avamar DataStore Gen2, Gen3 and Gen4 hardware are given below. Pay attention to the fact that there is a difference since Gen4.

Check NNG/Serial for Avamar Datastore Generation 2 and Generation 3 nodes. Login (as root) to the node for which you want to get the serial number and execute the below command.

omeport chassis frontpanel | grep "LCD Line"

The EMC serial number is at the beginning of the LCD Line value starting with WCA or NNG up to the first underscore. The middle section (example:100-580-602_A07) is the EMC part number. The last section is the node's IP address.

Check NNG/Serial for Avamar Datastore Generation 4 nodes. Login (as root) to the node for which you want to get the serial number and execute the below command

omeport chassis frontpanel

The EMC serial number is at the beginning of the LCD Line value starting with WCA or NNG up to the first underscore. The middle section (example:100-580-602_A07) is the EMC part number. The last section is the node's IP address.

Sample output:

NNG03223510265_100-580-618_A07_IP_172.16.240.203

The node serials in the example above start with NNG up to the first underscore. The 100-580-618_A07 part is the EMC part/revision number.
